The Hebrew for the word <i>bind<\/i> means \u201cto close.\u201d The word <i>seal<\/i> means practically the same: \u201cto cap off, to enclose.\u201d This is exactly what the apostles did with the message which Yeshua the Stone and Rock of Isaiah 8:14 gave them. They were to complete it. Bind it up. Close it shut. The authority to perform such an important job may have been reflected in Messiah\u2019s teaching that the apostles had power to \u2018bind on earth\u2019 (Matthew 16:19). The word <i>to bind<\/i> has the significance of <i>authorization<\/i> or <i>giving judgment<\/i>, just as the word <i>unbind<\/i> means \u201cnot to receive or not accept. \u2026\u201d In a word, the apostles felt that they had authority, even from the Old Testament, to bind, seal, authorize and canonize the Law and Testimony of Messiah. This meant to put the teachings of Messiah in a book, just like the Old Testament was given to the early Jews (<i>Restoring the Original Bible<\/i>, by Ernest Martin, pp. 298\u2013299).
